              \_ Singapore is like US, in that they also have a "H1B" type
                 issue, mostly from China and India too.  Singapore has
                 an additional "problem".  They really hate it when the
                 "H1B"s use Singapore as a stepping stone and jump ship
                 to the US after working in Singapore for a few years.
                 \_ You mean the Singapore govt actually want the H1B's to
                    apply for green cards and stay, as opposed to in the US
                    where we want them to leave?
                    \_ "We" meaning the US government really wants them to
                       stay. We make it pretty easy for them to stay legally.

                    \_ Yes, Singapore's government really wanted them to stay,
                       especially when the going is good.
                \_ So what's wrong with a government trying to do the best
                   thing for their own citizens at the expense of the citizens
                   of a different country?  That's what foreign policy is all
                   about for *every* country.
